SCE Patents ‘Tongue Control’, Play PlayStation With Your Mouth

As much as we all love the DualShock and other gaming controllers, they do have their limitations, something motion controls have tried (and failed) to take advantage of. But Sony has another solution – use your tongue. - PSLS

This is more meant for a "see through" visual display future in general.

For instance, if you want to learn how to make Sushi you can put on some glasses fitted with see through OLED lenses (or something similar), the software could not only tell/show you the ingredients you would need (on the display) to make sushi but using AR the software and tongue UI, this app could visually cue you into the safest procedure to cut the fish, carefully prepare the rice, etc. all while you are not multi-tasking with your hands. Your tongue could be translated as a controller user interface to go from step a to step b in this "virtual cook book" and so forth and so on.

I honestly see this coming to homes sometime no later than 2016. Especially considering all the displays people are buying like smartphones, tablets, etc. Even headwear like the Sony VR display and Oculus are kind of kicking up in popularity.

I'm looking at the as a way for paraplegic, and or other disabled people can keep on gaming. I can see it being used in-conjunction with a controller for a person with one arm. It'd act as the other half of the controller depending on what you need.

Other then for the purposes stated above, I don't think people that don't need it plan on sticking things in their mouths to control ANY game.

Imhave a friend suffering from ALS, he is paralyzed from the neck down. He uses a similar setup to write emails and navigate his computer. It uses his mouth and and a motion sensor for his eyes. It's pretty cool to see this in action and I can totally see where this could translate into gaming especially for the handicapped.
